Sudoku vs Six-pack

They got off the bus, Yuzuru still holding Anya's hand, and walked towards his place.
Once they reached the door of his building, Anya leaned over and grabbed the handle of her suitcase from Yuzuru, now facing him.

-Have a nice evening Yuzu.

-I will.

Yuzuru was still holding her hand and looking into her eyes.

-Goodbye then, Yuzu

-Bye.

He said grinning, not letting go of her.

Anya turned around, expecting him to lose the grip on her hand once she moved, but after her first step away, he was still holding her. She pulled on her hand, but his grip only tightened. She now leaned forward, using all of her power to get out of it, but Yuzuru just wrapped his other hand around her wrist and dug his heels into the pavement, pulling the opposite way.
Anya still didn't turn around, but a small smile was playing on her lips.

-Yuzu, pleaseeee

-Well you said you are going, then go.

-I can't!!

-Oh, you can't?

Yuzuru then pulled harder, making Anya turn around and crash into him, quickly wrapping his hands around her waist.

-I like you, Anya. And if you think I gonna let you disappear again, then you are wrong.

Anya hung her head and just dictated to him an 11-digit number.

-That's my number. Are you happy now?

-No. I won't remember that. And anyway, you have your things with you, you can stay over.

-I can recommend you some really good memory puzzles, that would help you.

And she gently knocked on his forehead.

-Do you really wanna go home now?... to Rachel?

Anya's expression sunken just at the thought of seeing Rachel at home. She really enjoyed the past few days without her.
Yuzuru as if reading her mind, just reached for her suitcase and dragged her inside.
Anya gave up resisting and followed him into his flat, satisfied smile all over his face.
Once at the door, Yuzuru stopped and turned to her with a serious look.

-I need to warn you about something.

-What is it?

-My mum is at home....

Anya gave him a cuff on the head but smiled a little.

______________

After a short introduction and another apology from Anya about the fainting, Yumi excused herself and went to the kitchen to make them some dinner.

-Am I wrong or was she blushing more than me?

-She was.

-Why?

-Cause I never brought a girl home. Now you are here already for the second time.

-But did you tell her we are just friends?

-No.

-Why not?

Yuzuru just grinned at her but didn't answer. He instead grabbed her hand and led her to his room. She sat down on the bed and he handed her a small book with a pencil from his drawer.

-Would this keep you entertained while I take a shower?

-Sudoku??!!

-Yeah...is that...bad? I just wasn't sure what else to get in the store....
